For many women are regular binge drinking is leading to an increase in women’s waist lines. Whereas in the past only men suffered noticeably from the beer belly, more and more women are finding that they are putting extra fat on around their waists, rather than around the bum and thighs, which is the natural place for women to accumulate fat. Cutting back on alcohol is the fourth rule on how to lose belly fat, so women that wish to regain their flat stomachs should take heed to the belly fat rules. The new figure that women have started to develop even has a name now – the wine class figure – named really because increase bellies in women are often as a result of increased consumption of wine when out socialising, and entertaining clients. Jacqui Lowdon of the British Dietetic Association says that women who are watching their waist line need to watch their wine glasses.
